Order a property survey to stake out property lines and have a home inspection done to check on items such as the roof and electrical. McColly Agents have access to a list of locally licensed vendors they can recommend. You’ll also need to determine what your total budget is. To be better prepared to make an offer, consider getting a pre-approval letter from one of our mortgage lender partners.

McColly Companies agents believe in maintaining long-term relationships with the people they meet. Our experienced agents live amongst the 140+ cities and towns across Northwest Indiana, Central Illinois and the Chicago Southland. Their families attend local schools, dine at local restaurants and visit local farmer's markets, and festivals. These are all things that contribute to a strong sense of community, which is why McColly Agents are Your Local Advantage.

Aside from recruiting family & friends to help you unpack, don’t forget there are a few other necessities on the move-in checklist. Transfer utilities, get appliances up and running, stock up on basic cleaning supplies, make pets comfortable and explore the neighborhood.
